* build: Add support for Visual Studio 2022 and VC143 DLLs
This change adds supports fot Visual Studio 2022 and the VC143 (current)
version of the Visual Studio CRT. In addition, it reworks the way that
Visual Studio is found, returning all installations in a generator,
separately finding it via vswhere.exe, searching paths, and via
environment variables.
All of these installations are searched for the DLLs with highest
priority given to the highest version of MS Visual Studio installed. The
hope is that this makes the process more robust and properly handles
having multiple versions installed, but only one with the correct
runtime DLLs.
* Update based on review comments

It doesn't make sense to try to install Python using `./mach bootstrap`
since it needs Python to run. Instead separate out Python installation
into its own step in the README.
LLVM is the largest package that we get from servo-build-deps, so
installing it via chocolatey should reduce the amount of data that we
transfer from that source. In addition, it's one less dependency that we
have to manage.
It also seems that installing LLVM to the default location with choco
means that we no longer have to set the LIBCLANG_PATH environment
variable for bindgen.

- Add a chocolatey configuration that installs all dependencies and split
the instructions into a normal and manual installation section. In
addition fix a warning print statement for the Windows build that would
trigger a Python exception.
- Simplify the build instructions in the README and move all manual
setup details to: https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Building
Currently fonts are using incorrect metrics and the app uses the console
subsystem. This patch adds aliases so that font metrics are found and
instructs the linker to use the windows subsystem.
